At the end of book #7 there was an ending sentence that almost had me afraid to open this book. I'm sure I was not alone and luckily it was all more than okay. Big relief. I had already come to the conclusion that judging by the title of this one that I was going to being saying farewell to the wonderful, warm, loving couples that I had grown to love in this series. The two authors did a magnificent job of ending it, but as the title says, creating new beginnings. They brought together each of the couples and some of the side characters to tell the readers that they were going to go on and their happiness was going to grow. It took nearly 400 pages...but they did it! Two of the characters whose story I had just recently read are going to carry on the theme in a different location and a different club...one that they now own in London... but I'm sure that if the authors follow the format of this series that the new series with a new club called "Secrets" will see some of the old friends from Collars and Cuffs coming to visit. I and I'm sure thousands of other fans of this series are thanking Parker Williams and K C Wells for not killing off any of the people as many ending TV series are in the habit of. I have already bought the 4 books in the "Secrets" series, and I will, I'm positive, reread them as often as have Collars and Cuffs. Thank you to both of the authors for the time and the obvious thought that went into creating, Leo, Thomas and all the other characters that made this series what it was. ( )
